CIBOLO CREEK MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY

Impact Fee Information

Through evaluation of current permitting requirements and existing facilities capacity, CCMA has defined the facility's improvements and/or expansions to meet future treatment and collection system needs. Future capital expenditures to serve new development may be recovered through an impact fee, but must be defined in a Capital Improvement Plan. CCMA's Capital Improvement Plan is based on a ten year planning horizon, 2007-2016 and includes only those items eligible for recovery under the lay and which include:

1. Construction Costs
2. Surveying, Engineering and Planning Fees
3. Land Acquisition Costs
4. Principal and Interest on Bonds
5. Fees Paid to Prepare an Impact Fee Program

Individual collection system projects as referenced in CCMA's application are listed below:

Town Creek Lift Station and Force Main/Deerhaven Gravity Main and Lift Station Modification

The Town Creek Lift Station and Force Main project was completed in December 2005. This facility was constructed to provide collection system capacity for CCMA's fastest growing area and replaced a small lift station which had reached it's capacity. The new system is capable, after pump modification, of transporting 4 mgd to the treatment plant. It is estimated that 12, 450 residential connection equivalents (RCE's) will be added to this facility during CCMA's planning period. The Deerhaven Gravity Main and Lift Station modification project is similar to the Town Creek project in that it was completed in late 2002 and was constructed to provide needed collection system capacity due to growth. The facility was composed of some 11,500 linear feet of parallel gravity main with like size pipe. The lift station was modified to add pumping capacity with an estimated 4,955 RCE's to be added during the planning period.

Retama Line

This project serves portions of the cities of San Antonio, Live Oak and Selma. CCMA has proposed to parallel the existing gravity mains with like size pipes. There are an estimated 4,400 RCE's projected to be added to this line segment during the planning period.

Olympia Line

This project serves a portion of two cities, Live Oak and Selma. Providing the immediate area along I35 with needed capacity, it is projected the line will experience 1,000 RCE's during the planning period.

FM1518 Line

This project will parallel the current outfall.

Bluebonnet Line

The area is a combination of residential, industrial and commercial uses along I35. Due to rapid growth over the past years, 4,950 RCE's are projected to be added during the planning period.

Maske Road Line/Schertz Lift Station

These facilities provide collection service for a majority of the CCMA service area. It is projected that expansion of the lift station is required to handle the flows generated in this area. It is estimated that an additional 6 mgd capacity will be needed at the lift station.

COLLECTION COMPONENT IMPACT FEE

The collection system projects included in the Capital Improvement Plan total $9,954,905 and will serve a projected flow of 6.8 mgd. Using the average daily flow contribution of 245 gpd, the projects will serve 27,755 new RCE's or $358/RCE.

PROPOSED TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSIONS-FY2010 and FY2017

These projects are needed to provide treatment capacity required by new development. The cost of these projects are eligible for recovery through Impact Fees. The proposed treatment system would include flow splitting to route raw wastewater to the appropriate treatment units, mechanical screening/grit removal, primary clarification, trickling filters, intermediate clarification, aeration basins, final clarification, effluent filtration, disinfection, all necessary pumping facilities within the treatment process, along with necessary solids handling using lime stabilization units and appropriate holding capacity.

The projects are being constructed in two phases due to the current stream standard evaluation being performed by TCEQ.

These two treatment system expansion projects will total $40.4 million and will provide 6.8 mgd treatment (average daily flow) capacity to serve future development. Using the average daily flow of 245 gallons per residential connection equivalent, these facilities will serve 27,755 future RCE's.

Due to the dramatic growth in CCMA's service area, the treatment component impact fee will be increased and a collection component impact fee added. These fees are a critical element associated with the future planning process of the Authority and through their use, CCMA can continue to provide the citizens of it's service area the best possible wastewater treatment services.

• Treatment Component=$1,455 per residential connection equivalent

• Collection Component=$358 per residential connection equivalent

• TOTAL REVISED IMPACT FEE=$1,800
